Frequently Asked Questions About Lenticular

1) What is lenticular and what does that odd name mean?

Lenticular images are digital files that have been specially
prepared and then printed onto a lens material. This material is a
special plastic made up of lenticules, hence the name lenticular
printing. The image, viewed through the lenticules, appears to move
as it is turned creating dramatic animation or depth.

2) What are the minimum/maximum order quantities?

Our minimum order is typically 500-1,000 pieces on small format and
as few as one on large format. A minimum job at any size is usually
about $2,500. You will find that the price drops significantly as
quantity increases. We have yet to find an order too big to eat. We
have produced jobs as big as 10 million units and would love to do
so again!

3) What does it cost?

Ahh, the key question. The best way to get a quote is to call and
let us know the size and quantity of your project. What’s in the
image (even the number of frames) doesn’t affect the price. Call us
and we’ll get you a quick and accurate quote.

Until we get the opportunity to speak with you (since we also don’t
like it when we can’t get a straight answer) minimum orders are
about $2,500. Smaller jobs (2,500 pieces) are usually a little
under $2 per unit. Mid-size orders (15,000+) are usually well under
$1. Large orders (50,000) are usually well below 50¢.

4) What are the minimum and maximum sizes?

The smallest size (that will look good) is about 1.5″ square. If a
lenticular is smaller than that, fine lines will begin to break up
under the lens. The largest size we can produce via litho is 26″x
38.″ However, we can now produce panels as large as 48”x 96,” so we
can probably help no matter what size you are looking to produce.

5) What do I need to provide for source art?

This part is easy. All we need from the client are digital files.
If it’s a two-frame (flip) we need two digital files. If it’s a
three-frame, we need three digital files. We trust the trend is
becoming clear. Think of a lenticular as an automatic “flip book.”
What you provide are the pages of that book. Whether the pages
contain pictures, text or drawings doesn’t matter to the flip book.

If you want us to produce a 3D lenticular, all we need is a
Photoshop file that has all of the elements of the image on
separate layers. All files should be in Mac format and resolution
should be 300 dpi at actual size.

Please include a 1/8″ bleed. For 3D images, please include a 1″
bleed left and right and 1/8″ bleed top and bottom.

See? Easy!

For more information, check out the Lenticular Design Guidelines
page.

6) How long does it take to produce a project?

About three weeks from the time we receive your artwork to the time
we ship product.What? You need it faster? Where were you two weeks ago? We know
your client just called you with this and they need it yesterday.

We realize it’s always a rush and we do our very best to meet our
clients’ deadlines. You’ll find we’re very good at it.
